SolarCraft Brings Solar Power to The Sea Ranch

Novato and Sonoma-based SolarCraft announced that it has completed the design and installation of a 90 kW solar power installation for The Sea Ranch Association (TSRA) in The Sea Ranch, CA.

Novato, CA (prHWY.com) August 29, 2012 - Novato, CA, August 28, 2012 -- The 90 kW solar electric system at TSRA is comprised of two separate systems. One system powers the administration offices. This system is 25.2 kW, consisting of 105 high-efficiency SunPower 240 watt solar panels installed on the roof of the administration building. Each of the 105 solar modules is controlled by a micro-inverter, manufactured by Enphase Energy of Petaluma, CA. The micro-inverters greatly reduce impacts of shade from nearby trees and generate about 7% more power than conventional inverters. Overall system efficiency is increased by 10 - 12%

The second system is ground mounted and will provide power to the Association's water treatment plant. It will generate 64.8 kW of power and consists of 240 SunTech 270 watt panels.

"The installation went smoothly and we are amazed at the ease of monitoring and the information provided. The Sea Ranch Association is very satisfied with the product, the staff at SolarCraft, and the carbon footprint reduction
we are thus far achieving, said Randy H. Burke, Director of Works, The Sea Ranch Water Company / Association.

The new solar energy system is expected to produce 125,222 kWh annually and will enable The Sea Ranch Association to generate enough electricity each day to power over 39 average homes. It will spare the air nearly 57 tons of harmful greenhouse gases every year. Over the next 30 years, the air pollution saved will be equivalent to driving
